I ended up buying used M2 remote with hardware revision RC1A. Version RC1B that my M2 came with was not compatible with my tablet. The main reason for the swap was the hackability of the RC1A though.

As the manual says: "If the aircraft is further than 2 km or less than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not retrace the original flight route and instead flies in a straight line to the Home Point."

I surely know it does and I surely did tried using both. As mentioned earlier, it doesn't even get to the stage when I could click some checkmarks - charging indicator constantly loops between charging/not charging, as if the RC constantly breaks and re-inits the USB link. Thanks for the...

Latest DJI GO 4 runs fine on the tablet (it has Android 6 on it). Like I said earlier, if I plug the Mavic 1 RC, GO4 launches automatically and links with the RC. However, if I plug the Mavic 2 RC, it seems like the USB link is going through some connected/disconnected loop and GO4 is not...

I've just noticed that no matter which cable I try, the tablet keeps jumping between charging/not connected, as if the two devices cannot negotiate the link parameters. I therefore cannot change the tethering settings - the toggle is only active once the tablet "senses" the device. It probably...

I was using the 8 inch ASUS Zenpad tablet (old Android 5.0) with my OG Mavic Pro without a problem. However, when I tried it with the Mavic 2 RC (current DJI GO 4 from the PlayStore installed on the tablet), it just wouldn't detect the RC connection. I always use the big USB-A port on the...

Editing a single bit in a digitally signed cfg file changes the checksum and invalidates the signature, rendering it useless.

Maybe some flight parameters from later FW version got "stuck" in the flight controller? Try doing the "Restore factory defaults" in Assistant2

Some (but not all) of the bins available on the Github were compressed in the way 7zip considers incorrect - if you tell 7zip to extract them, it does so, but throws the "Unexpected end of data" warning (examples - 01.03.0700 01.03.0900 Mavic AC bins). On those files the "delete without...

Believe me, that was an unpleasant surprise for me as well. Apparently, Neewer sucks at quality control - that would also explain the fact that I got one mislabeled filter in the set.

Nah, I didn't bother - I got them shortly before vacation during which I planned to shoot above water.

I've got a set of Neewer ND4/PL, ND8/PL and ND16/PL from Amazon a while back. For me, they are semi-shiite. 1) Gimbal test only passes if you really force the filters all the way back on the camera. 2) In my case, the ND4/PL and ND8/PL turned to be identical – they both had the optical density...

When you connect your Mavic to a Mac via USB, do you see the "DJI" network interface going green in System preferences -> Network? Does "DJI" device appear in System profiler -> USB devices list?

On one of the COUGH COUGH videos we are not supposed give links to, the author demonstrates what appears to be the section in the DJI Assistant Beta version where one has the option to "Upgrade" the FW for the aircraft components on a module-by-module basis or even with "package upgrade". I...

I bet that chair leaves a fancy impression on the butt if one is to seat on it naked for a while
